Wiley The Dalmatian Has A Heart On His Nose And People Are In Love

Wiley the Dalmation wears his nerve on his sleeve- well more like his nose. The now one-year-old puppy rose to internet renown for his unique heart-shaped celebrating placed squarely on his face and his over 120k Instagram followers can’t get enough. His human mom, Lexi Smith, 26, describes Wiley as, “5 4 pounds of goofy, clumsy, sassy, hungry, cuddly, curious, wild, crazy, silly, happy desire, ” and as lovely as he is in photos she told Bored Panda , “No amount of word-paintings on could ever amply capture all that he is and all that he means to me, he’s my best friend.”

Wiley procured his mode to Smith, who live in Colorado, from Oklahoma on Saint Patrick’s day of last year and while his unique commemorates shape him stand out, she says that’s not the reason she preferred him.

“He came from a litter of 11, and 8 of them were sons, so I had a tough select in picking him. The heart was there, but not fully formed to the degree where I believed it would abide since dalmatian spots change so much as they develop. I selected him because the breeder told me that all he did was sleep, snuggle, and eat, so we already “ve got a lot” in common.”

Well, the sleepy little puppy she first encountered is no more and the 26 -year-old said, “Wiley has more personality bundled up into his little body than any puppy I have ever met.”

Smith said hiking is one of his favorite activities, “We are so lucky to live in Colorado and have the biggest most beautiful regions to play in and explore. He loves hiking or going to one of the many massive bird-dog parks here. ”

“He also enjoys auto journeys and sits where he can look out the front window like a true copilot. But when he gets sleepy, he actually, actually LOOOOVES to snuggle.”

When Wiley isn’t snuggling, his mama said he can also be quite tenaciou( a common trait among Dalmatians ).

“Wiley’s truest dalmatian traits are forever establishing me laugh. Usually, it’s a laughter paired with shaking my brain, chuckling off total thwarting from his stubbornness, but that’s part of owning the breed. If you can’t laugh it off and be creative in finding a solution and training the naughty peculiarities out of them, life with a dalmatian would be such a challenge.”

For Smith, she wouldn’t trade Wiley’s occasional stubbornness for the world, “I have been really lucky with Wiley, though. He has the most wonderful heart, and I’m not talking about the one on his nose. He loves everyone he convenes and is always so excited to attain new friends. He has been relatively easy to civilize and has established the best little adventure partner I could ask for. He expects so much attention and he’s basically is connected to my hip, but that’s what I love about him.”

“Some people recognize him as “that dog from the internet, ” a lot of people notice the heart nose, but mostly it’s only people scandalized to see a dalmatian. “I haven’t recognized a dalmatian in so long, ” or “I’ve never seen a dalmatian in person, ” are the most reiterated notes I hear when I am out and about with Wiley.”

Smith’s decision to share Wiley with the internet began with her adore of photography. “Photography has always been something that I have toyed and experimented with, and suddenly I had an adorable puppy who stirred the perfect model. I have a personal account, but creating a separate one dedicated specifically to Wiley seemed like a great way to kind of store all my photos of him and maintain a running timeline of his life.”

“It genuinely started as something intend for simply me and maybe some of my friends to read his growth and keep the remembrances of each stage and event with Wiley. When the account first started developing I remember anticipating’ Wow, what if he reaches 5,000 followers! ’ I never in a million years could have imagined it would be what it is now. And it’s STILL GROWING. I am invariably amazed, shocked, but mostly so grateful. It has been a fun little adventure, that’s for sure.”
